Two wires are connected to a rigid bar as shown in Fig. Q.2b below. The details of the copper alloy wire and the al...
The pin-connected structure shown in Fig. 5 consists of a rigid bar ABCD and two 1,500-mm-long bars. Bar (1) is steel [E=200 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A1 = 510 mm2. Bar (2) is an aluminium alloy [E-70 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A2 1,300 mm2. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied. If a concentrated load of P 200 kN acts on the structure at D determine: (a) the normal stresses in both bars...
